I see a lot of people asking about purple stems or petioles and wondering if its normal. I think its probably normal in many cases. Here is one out of a few planted all in the same area and only this one has purple on its stems and petioles the others are all green. These were all topped randomly by a wood chuck after that I added the net fence seen bellow.

Pretty cool stems u got there. Oh and lovely looking plant as well lol.
Thanks and here is the one male in the batch, starting to show male sacs in clusters early I figured it would be another few weeks yet......but I did start these plant very early in doors so they are defiantly mature enough now, even though we are still getting around 14.5 hours of daylight. Its my first outdoor grow so I am not sure how plants react in nature, but its been interesting to see.

Some is strain specific but yea
Yeah I think so, and in the end if they make it that far cause I think I seen powdery mildew on it stem only in a small section though; I will have to look into this now and figure out what I need to do to prevent it.

Oh man if you're getting some PM get that nasty shit under control ASAP. Even if you personally can only see a little bit that most likely means the spores are everywhere already. Especially if you live somewhere that's not dry. I have nightmares about PM on my outdoor crop lol. On a lighter note your plants look really good man!

Good idea, I looked up some remedies and I will start implementing the organic ones mentioned here, also I think thinning the branches in the middle may help get some better air flow through.
